What You Should Know Before You Buy a Puppy

What You Should Know Before You Buy a Puppy

by Robert Hart

Maybe the day will come when breeders, and pet stores will provide you with the equivalent of a Car Fax when you shop for a puppy, but that is not the case today. The safe bet is to buy from a Breeder, but it's no guarantee that the mother was properly fed and supplemented, so that her milk provided your puppy with a strong immune system. The importance of real food and supplements is just as likely to be overlooked by a Breeder as is by the majority of MDs and Veterinarians in this country.

Just how high is the risk when you buy from a Pet Store and Rescue Facility? Most of the animals sold in rescue facilities were poorly cared for. Feral females are often impregnated when they are quite young, and are often impregnated while caring for a litter! Feral dogs must scavenge for food, which usually is loaded with bacterium that causes diarrhea. Diarrhea quickly causes dehydration, and leads to more advanced illnesses, which compromises the milk the pups rely on to develop strong immune systems.

One of the fastest growing and highly profitable businesses since the mid-80s is Puppy Mills, which have been fueled by Empty Nesters, who are lonely for companionship. Even though one can spend a lot of money for a puppy purchased at a pet store, money is no guarantee of getting a healthy pup. If people actually knew what the living conditions are for breed dogs and pups they would be outraged! Puppy Mill dogs are treated like cattle, sheep, chickens, and hogs. Breed mothers are fed poorly and bred before they have fully recovered from the last litter. Pups can only be as healthy as their mother's milk. Many are weaned too soon, subjecting them to development and health problems. It can all be summed up as stress.

The living conditions in the puppy mill are highly stressful, but that is not the end of a puppy's stress. Premature weaning compromises the puppys developing immune system. Puppies are transported like cargo, in all kinds of adverse weather conditions; often going days without light, food or water, and living in their own feces and urine. Arrival to the pet store is also stressful. If they acclimate at all, the stress starts all over again coming to your home.

Bringing Your Puppy Home One of the common signs of stress is diarrhea. Unfortunately, the common treatment prescribed for diarrhea is antibiotics, more complicated cases also get steroids. This is a poor treatment plan for a healthy dog, let alone a stressed out puppy. The 21st Century approach is to administer the opposite of antibiotics, or probiotics. Dogs instinctively know they are digestive aids, and eat them by pulling at the roots of grass, where soil-based probiotic organisms (SBOs) thrive. SBOs are clinically proven to quickly and safely resolve diarrhea, as well as most digestive disorders.

Everyone wants to know What is The Best Food to Feed a Puppy? To answer that question, you need to understand a few things: 90% of your puppys total immune system is located in their digestive system. By providing the nutrients and supplements any puppy needs, you can supercharge their immune system and thus prevent most health crisis from developing later in life. Reinforcing the need to supplement the digestive system throughout your dogs life; 80% of all chronic disease is caused by an unhealthy digestive system.

Your puppy is a meat eater. By feeding your puppy human-grade animal protein, and a few critical supplements, you will have the healthiest, happiest dog imaginable. Also, its life will be extended by an average of 7 years. You can search for testimonials of people who have switched to this diet.

Due to a lack of education as to the importance of diet to health, pet owners are paying a very high price in long-term care, and lowered life expectancy. Although this article seems to paint a dismal picture, by introducing an all-natural nursing and wean support formula as soon as you bring your puppy home, you can help kick-start their immune system, minimize their health risk, and optimize the enjoyment of your new companion ! - 20511
